  The present invention relates to a fishing line rig unit including a floating body to which a ballast weight is associated. The present invention is, among other things, a rig unit of the type comprising a floating main body, a floating main body having a front end and a rear end with reference to the direction in flight, and a ballast weight detachably connected to the floating main body. The ballast weight and the floating body remain connected to each other during the throwing phase and during flight, and relate to a rig unit that is configured to separate from each other when it collides with water at the end of the flight path.

[Prior art]
Floating units of the type described above are described, for example, in the following documents: U.S. Pat. No. 6,094,853, European Patent Application 0,035,996, U.S. Application Publication No. 2011/041381, and U.S. Pat. No. 3 230, 659.

[Object of the invention]
The object of the present invention is to produce a rig unit for fishing line that can easily carry out throwing, even if it is a large throw, reducing the risk of fishing line tangle or even eliminating the risk. is there.

  A further object of the invention is the type described above, which minimizes the risk of floating body separating from the ballast weight during flight and minimizes the risk of non-separation of these elements in the event of a collision with water. Is to propose a rig unit.

  A further object of the invention is to propose a rig unit which makes it possible to adopt a particularly efficient fishing technique.

  A further object of the invention is to produce a rig unit having a simple and inexpensive construction. Another object of the invention is to produce a rig unit which is very easy to use.

  In order to achieve the above objects, the present invention relates to a rig unit having the features indicated at the beginning of the description and further characterized by the following. The feature is that the ballast weight has a front end detachably connected to the rear end of the floating body, and a rear end provided with a guide passage for the path yarn connected to the floating body, and The rig unit comprises a mounting element for connecting the end thread with the head connected to the floating body and the opposite head holding the auxiliary floating to which the hook can be tied, said floating during flight If the body and the ballast mass are connected to one another, the rig unit is oriented with the levitation body on the front side and the ballast mass on the rear of the levitation body, but it collides with water at the end of the flight path When the floating body and the ballast weight are separated, the ballast weight is configured to be placed on the bottom of the sea, so that the line drops from the fishing rod to the guiding passage of the ballast weight. 1 And a second portion of the ballast weight which rises from the guide passage to the floating body, the floating body thus capable of remaining submerged in water, maintaining a distance from the water surface Located, the end thread being arranged to extend upwardly from the float body to the auxiliary float.

  In a preferred embodiment, the floating body and the ballast mass are releasably connected to one another by magnetic coupling means. For example, the magnetic coupling means may include one or more permanent magnets associated with the ballast weight and one or more ferromagnetic elements associated with the floating body. For example, the ferromagnetic element is shaped as a conical element projecting from the rear end of the floating body, while the front end of the ballast weight is provided with one or more permanent magnets (M) of ferromagnetic material It has a conical sheet for receiving a conical element.

  In a preferred embodiment, the floating body is shaped as a rotating body, and the ballast weight has radial cuts, by means of which cuts the ballast weight without disturbing the line connected to the floating body. It can be separated from the floating body.

  Still in connection with the preferred embodiment, the ballast weight is provided with a rod extending from the rear end of the ballast weight and having a back end opposite to the ballast weight, said back end being Hold the eyelet that constitutes the guideway for the

  By virtue of the above-mentioned features, the rig unit according to the invention makes it possible to easily carry out throws, including large throws, without the risk of entanglement of the fishing line. During flight, the floating body is kept in front of the ballast weight and dynamically induced by the ballast weight, which minimizes the risk of separation. By being placed on the front side during flight, the floating body is initially susceptible to collisions with water and thus tends to quickly move away from the heavier weight ballast weights which are pushed behind the floating body. After separation, the ballast weight descends in the direction of the bottom of the fishing dog and thus leaves the floating body which is drawn back towards the water surface. Moving the floating body away from the ballast weight is facilitated by the smooth movement of the line through the guide channel. When the ballast weight reaches the seabed, the line has a portion which descends from the fishing rod to the guide passage of the ballast weight and a portion which rises from the guide passage of the ballast weight to the floating body. The float body remains submerged in the water at a distance from the water surface, and the end thread is arranged to extend upwardly from the float body to the auxiliary float. The auxiliary float serves as a bait and has a hook connected to the auxiliary float. As a result, the floating body of the rig unit according to the present invention has the function of keeping the yarn in a stretched state once the ballast weight is placed on the seabed. In this situation, by acting on the reel of the fishing rod, the angler can locate the floating body and hence the fishing hook at various depths to find the most suitable depth for fishing. In this way, fishing can be made very effective.

  The above-described structure and arrangement minimizes the risk of fishing line tangling during flight. The rig unit described above is easy to assemble, economical and very easy to use.

  In an alternative embodiment, the floating body has a baited fishing hook connected to the end thread that is internally protected during flight and then comes out of the compartment for bait retention when it collides with water Define Furthermore, there is also a variant in which the floating body is in the form of a closable basket which is filled with smelling bait and which is suitable for producing an odor which attracts bait or predatory fish.

  The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are provided merely as a non-limiting example.

FIG. 2 is a view of the components of the unit of FIG. 1 in the unconnected state; FIG. 5 is an end view of a ballast weight forming part of a rig unit according to the invention; Fig. 2 schematically shows the flight phase of the rig unit according to the invention. Fig. 2 schematically shows the final state of the rig unit according to the present invention in water. 5 shows a modified example of the rig unit according to the present invention. Fig. 6 shows a cross-sectional view of another variant. FIG. 7 shows a perspective view of another variant. The cross section of the further modification is shown. FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of a further example embodiment. FIG. 7 is a partial cross-sectional view of a further example embodiment.

  Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the number 1 shows the whole of the rig unit according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The unit 1 comprises a floating body 2 and a ballast weight 3 which remains coupled to the floating body 2 while flying in the air after being thrown. As shown in more detail below, the thread 4 is connected to the floating body 2.

  The floating body 2 can be manufactured in a single piece, or can also be manufactured in a plurality of elements (as shown in connection with further example embodiments). In any case, the structure and configuration of floating body 2 can be manufactured in any known manner. Also, the material of the floating body 2 may be any suitable material known to the person skilled in the art, such as, for example, plastic material, in particular polyurethane or balsa material.

  The floating body 2 is formed as a rotating body having a main shaft 2A (see FIG. 2), a front end 201 (when referred to the direction in flight), and a rear end 202. The ballast weight 3 has a front end connected to the rear end of the floating body. During flight, the floating body is arranged on the front side and the ballast weight is arranged behind the floating body.

  In the embodiment shown here, the rear end of the floating body 2 and the front end of the ballast weight 3 remain coupled to one another by magnetic coupling means during the throwing phase and during flight. Specifically, in the example shown herein, the connection means between the floating body 2 and the ballast weight 3 comprises a ferromagnetic element F rigidly connected to the rear end 202 of the floating body 2; 3 and a permanent magnet M rigidly connected. In the illustrated example, the ferromagnetic element F is in the form of a cone and the permanent magnet M is in the form of a conical wall defining a cavity for receiving the ferromagnetic element F in connection.

  As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3, the entire body of the ballast weight 3 has radial cuts T, which do not disturb the line thread 4 connected to the floating body 2. The weight 3 can be separated from the floating body 2. In the embodiment shown, the magnet M associated with the ballast mass also has radial cuts at positions corresponding to the positions of the cuts T.

  The permanent magnet M is chosen to be such that the magnetic attraction is large enough to keep the connection in flight and small enough to reliably break off by colliding with the water at the end of the flight. This result can be easily realized by experimenting with samples of float and ballast weights.

  As can be seen from FIG. 1, in the floating body 2, the passage 203 is axially traversed, and in the passage, the stem A is disposed via the tube 204. Both ends of the stem A are out of the floating body 2 of plastic material. The tube 204 may also be omitted and / or defined by the same body as the float 2 (as in the embodiment of FIG. 5).

  In the solution of FIGS. 1 and 2, the rear end of the stem A holds the eyelet O2, the eyelet O2 is fixed to the head of the line 4 and the opposite end of the line 4 is associated with the fishing rod 5 (See Figure 4). The front end of the stem A holds the floating shank with the eyelet O3 at its end, the eyelet O3 fixing the head of the end thread 6 and the end thread 6 forming a supplementary float at the opposite end thereof And the bait E (see FIGS. 2 and 4).

  Returning to the ballast weight 3, the ballast weight 3 can be constructed and formed in any known manner using any suitable material known to those skilled in the art. In the embodiment shown here, the ballast weight 3 has a substantially conical body with a concave front end surface, in the plane of which a permanent magnet M is fixed. The rear end of the ballast weight 3 extends to the rod 7, which is permanently connected to the body of the ballast weight 3. The rod 7 may be made of a material such as, for example, a metal material or a plastic material and has a tail end 601 with two diametrically arranged wings, which winds the loop 4 around the rod 7 during flight It is designed to prevent sticking. The rearmost portion 601 of the rod 7 holds the guide passage of the thread 4. In the illustrated example, the guiding passage is in the form of an eyelet O1, and the thread 4 moves freely and freely in the eyelet O1 (see FIG. 2). The eyelet O1 is held by a pin axially protruding from the rear end 601 of the rod 7 and mounted in a rotatable manner around the axis of the rod within the cylindrical body 602 held by the rear end 601.

  In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3 the eyelet O3 is attached to a floatable shank projecting from the front end 201 of the float body 2.

  FIG. 3 shows the rig unit according to the invention (both exaggerated in size for clarity) both in flight and immediately after a collision with water. During flight, with the rod 7, the floating body 2 and the ballast mass 3 remain coupled to one another by virtue of the magnetic attraction between the permanent magnet M and the ferromagnetic element F. In this connection, the aerodynamic form of the rig unit and its weight make it possible to fly long distances without the risk of entanglement. During flight, the floating body is kept in front of the ballast weight and dynamically induced by the ballast weight, which minimizes the risk of separation. By being placed on the front side during the flight, the floating body 2 is initially subjected to a collision with water and thus tends to quickly move away from the heavier weight ballast weight 3 which presses behind the floating body 2. After separation, the ballast weight 3 descends away from the floating body 2 thanks to the ability of the fishing line 4 to move smoothly in the eyelet O1, leading to the state shown in FIG.

  FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a rig unit according to a modification. The variant differs from the solution of FIG. 1 in that the axial tube 204 is integrally formed with the floating body 2 and that the stem A is not provided. In this case, a support in the form of, for example, a cylindrical block 205 is received in the axial passage 204 close to the front end 201 of the floating body 2. The eyelet O3 for connecting the end thread 6 is held by a rotatable pin mounted in the cylindrical block 205, while the eyelet O2 for securing the thread 4 is a pin connected to the block 205 Held by

  6 and 7 show a variant of the solution of FIG. Here, the floating body 2 defines a compartment N for receiving the hook H and the bait E connected to the end thread 6. The hooks H and the bait E are held in the seat N in flight by means of an optional holding element, for example by means of a tape or thread 8 (for example of synthetic material). This solution further reduces the risk of fishing lines 4 and 6 being tangled during flight. When it collides with water, the hook H and the bait E come out of the compartment N.

  Finally, FIG. 8 shows a further variant. Here, the floating body 2 is in the form of a hollow car and comprises a rear main part and an openable front cover 206 which defines the front portion of the floating body. However, in this case, the car body includes a central portion 207 which defines a passage for the thread 4.

  In all the above-mentioned modifications, the point T formed by both the main body of the ballast weight 3 and the permanent magnet M prevents the ballast weight 3 from interfering with the line thread 4 when it collides with water. It is possible to leave. Furthermore, the conical element F of the ferromagnetic material has a central hole which is the passage of the thread.

  By virtue of the above-mentioned features, the rig unit according to the invention can facilitate the execution of great throws without the risk of fishing lines being tangled at all.

  9 and 10 show a modification of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. In these figures, parts common to the previous figures are indicated by the same reference numerals. The main differences as compared with the solution shown in FIG. 1 are as follows. Two small permanent magnets M are provided, which are received at the front end of the ballast weight 3 in a sheet "m" on a concave conical surface. The rear end portion 601 of the rod 7 is formed as a rotating body, and the cut or guide passage T 'is angularly coincident with the cut T of the ballast weight 3, and the thread 4 is guided through the cut T and the cut T'. And the point yarn 4 is prevented from being wound around the rod 7 during flight. In the floating body 2, a tube 50 having an end projecting from the front end of the floating body 2 is traversed, in which the eyelet of the shank is rotatable and the opposite end of the shank is the eyelet O3 And the point at which the component is held axially in the tube 50 between the two bodies 51 and 52. As can be seen from FIG. 10, the knotted thread 53 forms a loop projecting from the rear end of the ballast weight and serves as an eyelet O2 for connecting the thread 4.

  Of course, without departing from the principles of the present invention, structural details and embodiments may vary widely from what has just been described and shown by way of example without departing from the scope of the present invention.

  For example, instead of the magnetic coupling means, the floating body 2 and the ballast mass 3 may fly by a mechanical connection between the reciprocal engagement elements with a sufficiently small coupling force to be reliably separated by collision with water. It can also remain connected inside.
